Support forum for this issue. Apple’s support forum is flooded with this problem experience of new iPad 3 owners. The customers reported that their iPad 3 gets so much hot that it becomes uncomfortable to hold; especially the lower left-hand side of the iPad holding in portrait mode gets very hot.
There are some reasons which may be claimed responsible for this problem of iPad 3; iPad 3 comes with a very bright high resolution retina display which may be one of the reasons. The processor of iPad 3 is much more powerful than the previous version, 4G network also very power consuming. The battery of new iPad is 50W, while the battery of previous iPad was only 25W; it may be the biggest cause because more power of battery causes more heat.
The new iPad 3 becomes so hot sometimes that it display an error message that iPad needs to be cool to use it.
Tests on new iPad 3 heating up problem shows result of 92.48°F, which is 10°F more than the previous iPad. However, Apple said that this temperature is within the thermal capacity of iPad 3; they also claimed that the powerful battery providing a greater battery life may be the main cause of this problem.
Wi-Fi connection problem:
Another biggest problem of new iPad 3 is the Wi-Fi network problem; many of the ne iPad 3 owners reported that Wi-Fi connectivity of their device causing much problem like Wi-Fi network drop, not connecting with Wi-Fi network at all, very slow data transfer rate etc.

The new iPad 3 works well when it is near to the Wi-Fi router but when it is not near of router but in range of its network, the reception is very bad and often it lose connectivity to the network. TabletPCReview ran a test on new iPad 3 with a Cisco WRT310N router and iOS app Speedtest and the result shows that near router the connectivity is ok but when it is not near the router, connectivity loses within a moment. But this Wi-Fi connectivity problem may not be caused by hardware problem, because iPad 3 comes with the same Broadcom MSM4330 network device, while the previous versions of iPad use Broadcom MSM4329 chips. So it is quite sure that the problem is caused by software bug, Apple needs to find a solution to the problem soon.
Some other says they have problem while charging their new iPad, it takes a very long time to charge.
It seems that, the new iPad 3 is undergoing some serious problem; Apple should take steps to solve these problems to save their reputation. Have you faced any problem with you iPad? Don’t forget to tell us.
